Sadak 2T (110kg , 388kg fully loaded)
Sadak 4T (175kg , 731kg fully loaded)

Sadak 4T is carried under the belly of Akinci, as it can’t carry that load on wings.
Akinci has around 950kg payload capacity to carry externally. I doubt if it can manage 2 x Sadak 2T on wings as well.

As with different engines, Akinci has different payload capacities. But even with the 2 x PT6 engines giving 2 x 850HP power, it has a maximum of 1500kg payload capacity, 400kg of it being for internal. It has also be remembered that the wing structure can manage lower weight handling than it’s belly.
I checked the brochure right after I wrote the comment and you're right it would be really hard, if not outright impossible as I didn't think 1500 kg would also include internal load.

They give all these different weights to confuse us. 😂
In another document it says Tolun’s weight is 135kg.
But in IIR form it says it weighs 120kg.
So since this is a missile under development and progress, one can expect a weight variation of +/- few kg. (Fuel, explosives, seeker type and use of composites all contribute to final weight)

I think this one would be valid for IIR or, if available IR seeker version.
Which reminds me, Tolun IIR was first shown and its range was announced in april 2023 and we were told firing tests would start in 2024. We are yet to see any videos for it, which should happen in the following months.
